...should be no surprise that Clinton is planning to build a presidential library in Arkansas and is already monitoring its fund-raising operation with his usual acuity. The $100 million facility in Little Rock will be built on 14 acres along the Arkansas River, as a repository of Clinton papers and a research center for presidential scholars. But Clinton also seems to be imagining the library as a sort of government-in-exile--like Carter's but even more activist--part policy institute, part Peace Corps, focusing on Africa, showcasing his accomplishments...

King Hussein personally financed the renovation of the Dome of the Rock and the demolition of the Jewish quarter, and before the Six-Day War in 1967, Amman seemed a world away from Israel politically. The distance and the military controls continued through the Gulf War, when Jordan chose to side with Iraq; only in the messy political aftermath of that decision...
